Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
Lol nothing says we are afraid of the working class like banning subreddits on suppressed news they don’t want us to see. I came here bc I got a warning on my account for liking a comment that said “Luigi”. My alt account got banned for sharing the DOGE email list that is public info. Fuck Reddit. I’m done.
got banned for telling a trump supporter to go fuck himself after he joked about the 51st state among other things, im canadian. also i upvoted luigi content and got permanently banned. not just one email, but all connected emails as well.
im out. that place is a censored shithole. fuck reddit. i hope they ban all the real ones so they come here.
Although there are a lot of sane and humane people on reddit, it is ultimately part of the machine now. It cannot be trusted to remain unbiased any longer.
Yep, I got a frikking lifetime IP ban a few months back for saying "Fuck Elon Musk all the way to hell" in r/politics - apparently some fanboy decided that was "inciting violence". Fuck Reddit, happy to be part of Lemmy.
The real reason you got reported is they don't want anyone other than shills in that subreddit
Abso-fucking-lutely.
I got an IP ban for sharing the list of DOGE employees. 11 minutes after my 10 year cake day. I continue to see people share the list of names. That's what led me here.
Aren't their names a matter of public record anyway?? Ridiculous - and for my part, I've seen people post a lot worse things than "Fuck Elon Musk all the way to hell" and somehow they're not banned.
Yeah. I don't see how it's doxxing when it's public record
I lost my account of 12 years when I quoted some random misogynist for calling a woman a slur, the mod or automod banned me for making the quote (which I did so he couldn't edit his message and I simultaneously reported him anyway) I figured it was just a simple mistake, but they didn't listen to my appeal, I tried to talk to other mods and they were all unimaginably obtuse assholes, so I got banned from that particular subreddit that I was a well-liked regular contributor on. To keep talking to the people I knew there I used an alt account for a while and then got lifetime IP banned for ban-evasion.
It's not that hard to make a new account and erase your cookies and reset your modem, etc etc. But now they have more and more tricks for removing humans, like shadowbanning anyone who ever says anything contentious, which is what they really want, completely synthetic communities of bots talking about whatever narrative they want to seed into the public narrative.
I estimate about 1/4 to half the users on the larger communities are all AI/bots. Once you realize it and look at all the posts and conversations in this framing you realize how utterly twisted and insidious our tech oligarchy has really become. They seem very human, they even make populist-sounding, human arguments and follow popular sentiment, which makes their narratives and concessions stand out.
The internet isn't just dead, it's a reanimated corpse cursed to follow the will of its lich-lords.

I think you nailed it.
I received an IP ban for sharing the public list of DOGE employees, 11 minutes into my 10 year cake day.
I was still using it for researching stuff (mostly via the Kagi forum search) - but it’s the only website that does not work with MullvadVPN on. Getting tired of having to deactivate it. By now Mastodon and Lemmy easily satisfy my needs for tech news/discussions.
The only thing Lemmy doesn't have that Reddit does is an enormous collection of discussions about technical solutions. I can not think of another way to look for answers to tech questions that doesn't send me straight to SEO crap trying to sell me a solution. No I don't want to pay for a subscription to your crappy software to make cron jobs that I'll just have to debug anyway. I want to learn what flag I put in wrong so it'll work in the first place.
Reddit has bent the knee, got banned for calling Elon Musk Adolph Tittler and telling one of him simps to fellate him after telling me he was going to kill us Canadians and we would be their 51st state.
Honestly we shouldn't be supporting these assholes anyway so welcome to Lemmy everyone!
Question: is there such a thing as an "True Neutral" Lemmy instance that federates with everything by default?
I don't know of one, but you'd be getting furry porn, legitimate North Korean propaganda, and if Wolfballs was still around straight up Nazis in your feed. Is that what you want?
That is what the "block community" button is for. I enjoy hentai media, which has a wide assortment of flavors. Including permutations of furry porn.
I got permanently banned from the food stamps sub by talking about Trump's crappy economic policies
This picture was at the top of /r/pics one day and I was permanently banned from reddit for calling Hitler a 'fag'
I am not a homophobe in the slightest lol I just thought it was funny (I am LGBT and was called all kinds of shit on reddit by nazis..)
I just got banned for saying starlink to be not trusted as coms for military ops.
I have a feeling someone from right wing has bought a huge stake and they have exerted pressure on the management to mute all anti establishment discussions.
I would not use starlink for any of my coms. These mofos may have given Russia intercept ability and location tracking.
always follow the money brotha.
Another day, another reason to be happy we're here instead of there.
P.S. I've been here since November and I've definitely seen an increase in users since then.
What was that subreddit about?
So, Suppressed News has in fact, been suppressed....
Thanks whomever got a post about this place to hit the front Reddit page. I was on Mastadon and Substack and bluesky and hadnt even heard about this.
Whoever*
